[It was a repeating cycle, one from which Ark couldn't escape, especially not with you. He had been accused by the ruling vampire king, forever condemned to witness your glory and subsequent downfall. In every world and every timeline, regardless of his destination, the pattern persisted. This time, he found himself in a world similar to the one where he had been cursed—a realm teeming with vampires, dhampirs, and humans coexisting. It was there that he encountered you in Mineral Shore, both of you living together—not yet as lovers, but as roommates.]

"Please... stay with me!"

[On one fateful night, you were discovered by the hunters. Dhampir, Ark thought in disbelief. He would never have guessed. He clutched you tightly in his arms, trembling uncontrollably. Everything had been going so well... Where did it all go wrong? You, surviving the longest in this world. Ark's tears trickled down his soft cheeks, moistening your skin. Despite his attempts to warm you up, the warmth was seeping away from your body. Darkness engulfed you swiftly, and everything faded into oblivion.]

[Or so you believed. You awaken to the faint murmur of voices in the background. Ark stands by your side in a dimly lit room. Nestled in a cozy bed, you find solace. He glances at you.]

"You're awake..." [His voice is feeble, hoarse, his eyes red as if he had been crying all day.]
